The World Bank plans to provide approximately $6 billion in financing to Mozambique over the next five years, largely through concessional loans and grants, as part of efforts to support infrastructure, fiscal stability and economic recovery, according to Reuters.
Fily Sissoko, the World Bank’s division director for Mozambique and several African countries, said about $3 billion is already available on the Bank’s balance sheet, with a further $3 billion expected to be mobilised through partnerships and co-financing arrangements. The package is designed to back priority government projects while strengthening macroeconomic resilience.
Mozambique’s Finance Minister, Carla Louveira, indicated that the funding will be anchored within a broader macro-fiscal framework aimed at sustaining economic reforms and stabilising public finances. Part of the support is expected to come under the Bank’s International Development Association window, which provides highly concessional financing to low-income countries.
The planned funding comes as Mozambique seeks to consolidate recovery amid debt pressures, climate-related shocks, and security challenges, while positioning itself to benefit from renewed momentum in its energy sector. Investing.com says the scale of the proposed financing underscores the World Bank’s long-term commitment to supporting the country’s development trajectory.
